Most lethal mutations in wild fruit flies are driven by newly transferred jumping genes, not small DNA errors, according to a new study from Duke University. The findings, published in PLOS Biology, ...

Researchers have devised a new tool for discerning between naturally occurring viral outbreaks and those resulting from lab ...

Researchers reviewed how somatic mutations accumulate in normal and diseased tissues, showing that natural selection can expand clones that influence disease risk, tissue adaptation, or cellular ...

DAME Deborah James’ science laboratory will be part of a project awarded £20million by Cancer Research UK to test a new way ...

DNA polymerase epsilon catalytic subunit A (POLE) gene plays a crucial role in DNA repair and chromosomal replication. Mutations in the POLE gene have ...

Genes are short sections of DNA that determine an animal’s traits—everything from coat color and claw strength to body shape and health. But sometimes, these genes mutate. And while the word itself ...

Being invited to present research at an international academic conference is an honor for any seasoned professional. But for ...

When building GraphQL mutations with FraiseQL, developers need to ensure that mutation resolver return values match the schema's expected return type specification. Currently, there's no way to ...

A hallmark of Parkinson's disease is the buildup of Lewy bodies—misfolded clumps of the protein known as alpha-synuclein. Long before Lewy bodies form, alpha-synuclein can interfere with neurons' ...

When the Chernobyl power plant explosion scattered ionizing radiation all over Europe, the damage it dealt lasted much longer than the initial blast. Researchers sequenced the genomes of Chernobyl ...

An international team of scientists headed by researchers at the University of Edinburgh, has created a complete map showing how hundreds of possible mutations in a key cancer gene, CTNNB1, influence ...
